بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

The messenger said, ‘Even though I bring you a truer religion than what you saw your fathers following?’ and they replied, ‘But we do not believe the message you bring.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We punished them: think about how those who rejected the Truth met their end.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Abraham said to his father and his people, ‘I renounce what you worship.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

I worship only Him who created me, and it is He who will guide me,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and he bequeathed these words to his descendants so that they might return [to God].

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

I have let these people and their fathers enjoy long lives, and now I have given them the Truth and a messenger to make things clear-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

yet when the Truth came to them, they said, ‘This is sorcery. We do not believe in it,’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and they said, ‘Why was this Quran not sent down to a distinguished man, from either of the two cities?’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Are they the ones who share out your Lord’s grace? We are the ones who give them their share of livelihood in this world and We have raised some of them above others in rank, so that some may take others into service: your Lord’s grace is better than anything they accumulate.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

If it were not that all mankind might have become a single nation [of disbelievers], We could have given all those who disbelieve in the Lord of Mercy houses with roofs of silver, sweeping staircases to ascend,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

massive gates, couches to sit on,

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

and golden ornaments. All of these are mere enjoyments of this life; your Lord reserves the next life for those who take heed of Him.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

We assign an evil one as a comrade for whoever turns away from the revelations of the Lord of Mercy:

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

evil ones bar people from the right path, even though they may think they are well guided.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

When such a person comes to Us, he will say [to his comrade], ‘If only you had been as far away from me as east is from west. What an evil comrade!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

[It will be said to them], ‘You have done wrong. Having partners in punishment will not console you today.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Can you [Prophet] make the deaf hear? Or guide either the blind or those who are in gross error?

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Either We shall take you away and punish them- indeed We will-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

or We shall let you witness the punishment We threatened them with; We have full power over them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

Hold fast to what has been revealed to you- you truly are on the right path-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem
